Part of one of the most ******** plot devices they possibly could have used, I think you mean.

Nothing like an expansion that starts off by retconning one of the most significant events in the entirety of the story, which literally laid the foundation for the entirety of the story for the Azeroth portion of the universe (AKA, the vast majority of the story that players have access to).

Yup.

Also, Prison Architect is incredibly entertaining... been a while since I played a building/management game. Bit pricey, though, for an alpha.

Well when you put it that way... I still think it sounds interesting though. I'm curious how they'll play it out. I might come back for this. We'll see.

the new content from what i gather is us going back in time to stop him and his mysterious time traveling buddy.

you know so we dont stop existing and stuff.

ya but we are trying to stop that retcon

which tbh doesnt make sense. as no orcs, no burning legion, no space goats, no gorrash ruins pandaria, no lots of other bad stuff.

so i think we are missing something. as no orcs means peaceful azeroth. maybe its no orcs and manroth(sic) blood but they still invade is garrosh's plan.. idk

still will be nice to see outland before it gone done got exploded

Let's ignore the stupidly high number of retcons present on the rest of the opening page where the characters are concerned (Gul'dan an outcast, what a joke). And hey, let's ignore the fact that the Orcs were firmly under Demonic sway long before they drank the blood of Mannoroth.

It still makes absolutely no sense why this would be a threat. The Orcs invaded Azeroth. That happened in the past. So, what, now we're worried about another invasion from the past?

And the premise is to stop the future from being unmade? Why? Why would that be bad? There's literally no downside to this. The Scourge doesn't happen, the Draenei genocide is abated, the Orcs don't fall to barbarism, the Burning Legion doesn't gain a foothold to invade Azeroth. Maybe Medivh is saved from Sargeras and the world doesn't lose The Guardian.

Unless they're going to pull out a stupid plot device like "time will self-destruct."

I'm not happy.

No, but I invested so much into the story that it pisses me off to see them making such terrible decisions.

I can't, because I just see so much wasted potential.

Ugh.


So I downloaded Path of Exile because it's free and why not, 20+ "a character with this name already exists" messages later I uninstalled it again. **** that.

I was going to say something like "well don't try SWTOR, it's nearly impossible to get a name on there!" I suppose that changes things though.

So is it by character or by account? Because I could see not logging into an account for 90 days and having things open to reset, but even when I'm actively playing 90 day without touching a character isn't uncommon. I suppose at this point though most of the characters have such rare names (the consequence of 40+ minutes in the character creation screen ) that I probably don't have anything to worry about.

What I like about it is that if you have a character over level 30, regardless of your "status", it is safe. My only character over level 30 is the only one I really care about her name. Evil Sorceress named after one of the most diabolically intelligent and power hungry female characters ever written? I would be so sad if I had to rename her at some point.

I don't give a **** about BioWare's renaming policy anymore. Not since they merged my server with another and forced me to rename "Mazra" because someone with that name already existed on the other server. I AM THE ORIGINAL! Damn posers.
